Poor Pat
This column by Pat Buchanan, questioning whether fighting WWII was worth it for the West, is stirring a lot of controversy, with the predictable response being, "What about the Holocaust?"
Folks, I've got a little secret to reveal to you: The West's entry into WWII did not prevent the Holocaust! (It may, in fact, have prompted it.)

The Holocaust was underway before we

Mr B has been pilloried for thinking outside the box on quite a few occasions. I am glad he still has the courage to keep at it.
ReplyDeleteThe Holocaust was underway before Sep. 1, 1939? That's the first I heard of it. (Note: I said "the West," not "the US.")

ReplyDeleteYes, Anonymous, I know all about Kristallnacht. The Nazis certainly disliked Jews long before 1939 or 1941, and did despicable things towards them. That does not make for a Holocaust! Kristallnacht can be refered to as the Holocaust being "underway" only if someone's murder of their neighbor can be called "underway" on the day 8 years before the killing when the murderer kicked the neighbor's cat.

ReplyDeleteYesterday, my boyfriend gave me a lot of FFXI Giland he told me that the FFXI gold is useful for me to go into the net game. At the same time, the Final Fantasy XI gold is the gift for my birthday and I will buy FFXI Gil to thank him because the cheap Final Fantasy XI Gold is not free for him.
